The Kid is great

For me, the argument is over. Sid The Kid -- Sidney Crosby -- is the best young hockey player in the NHL.
I used to argue in favour of Alex Ovechkin. No more.
Great players make great plays at great moments. Crosby, who otherwise played a rather pedestrian game for Canada in yesterday's Olympic gold medal final from Vancouver against the U.S., made the right play at the right time to deliver the goods.
That is greatness.
Ovechkin? Puh-lease. He stunk the joint out in Russia's lopsided loss to Canada in the quarters.
And my apologies to Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer. The two old goats were the best D-men on the ice Sunday despite looking hopelessly slow and inept and ready for the retirement lodge in Canada's first meeting with the U.S.
Sorry, guys.
Best players on the ice Sunday? Jonathan Toews and Rick Nash.
And, yes, we rule.
